Hi,

I wanted to test hive os with one of my assus b250 rig. Which has nvdia and mad cards. For nvdia works fine. But I am not able to control amd cards. Allways receive amd overclock failed message and some rx570 cards works only 5 mhs. When chech amd-info works very slow and shows only 300 mhz. But at the same rig, I can control nvidia cards without issue.

I hope sone one help me.

We don't recommend the ASUS B250 ME because as it stands, there are currently known issues with high LA caused by these boards on BIOS vers. 120x and up.
We're still waiting for official word from ASUS on the matter but this seems to affect AMD beyond a certain number of cards on these boards.
Any version prior to 120x seem to be working fine.

As for your specific issue, check what the LA is at because it sounds to me like the rig is tilting. If that's the case, you're most likely affected by the same issue.

A workaround is to power-cycle the rig(instead of shutting down or restarting, note that this is to be done EVERY time) or connect fewer cards (some board take up to 5, some take up to 6).

Also, ensure that your BIOS settings are set correctly:

Advanced\PCH Configuration\PCI Express Configuration -> PCIe Speed -> Gen 2
Advanced\System Agent (SA) Configuration\PEG Port Configuration -> PCIEX16_1 Link Speed -> Gen 2


Thanks for your kindly message.

What I couldn't understand is power cycle.  How can I cycle power?



Unplug it. Wait 30 seconds plug it again.
